Alcohol and Health

Whether to consume alcohol is a personal decision. At Molson Coors, we believe that for those who choose to drink, alcohol should be consumed responsibly. Alcohol affects different people in different ways. The best way to determine if consuming alcohol is compatible with your own lifestyle is to discuss it with your healthcare professional, who can account for various individual factors such as your existing health condition(s), family history, and genetics, among other things.

Some people should not drink alcohol. For example, people should not drink if:

• They are pregnant or might be pregnant
• They are under the legal age for drinking
• They have certain preexisting and/or current medical conditions or are taking certain medications that can interact with alcohol
• They are alcohol dependent or have a family history of alcohol use disorder.

Further, no one should drive or operate heavy machinery after drinking.

There is a relationship between regular heavy alcohol consumption and certain health issues. Regular heavy drinking has been associated with various illnesses, including liver disease, cardiovascular disease, dependency, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer. For some people moderate alcohol consumption may increase certain health risks and risks of certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer. Heavy episodic or ‘binge’ drinking involving the consumption of large amounts of alcohol over a short period of time is dangerous and can lead to serious health and social problems. At Molson Coors, we do not condone excessive drinking under any circumstances.

If you have questions about your choices related to alcohol, please discuss them with your healthcare provider.
